I received an email saying that fraudulent use of my credit card had occurred in Madrid, Spain. Email indicated that I should respond to the email to get more information. I did not do this as I was sure this was a fraud. I called the CC company instead to inform them of the email. They assured me that it was not an email sent from them.

Scammer left a message for me to call them back after identifying themselves as Capitol One and needing more information for my credit application. I'm to call back to 800-957-4008 to the Underwriting Department. I did call Capitol One to see if this was a legit call and not the number that they said to call back to. Both numbers that I've listed I went online to see if it was indeed a Capitol One number anywhere in the United States. These numbers are coming out of Aberdeen, Washington. No connection with Capitol One business. I want to make sure you understand me, I did not call the phone number from my caller ID or the number that they said I needed to call the Underwriters Department.

I got a voicemail saying it was Capital One fraud department wanting to talk to me about fraudulent charges on my account. I called the number back. They asked for my name and credit card number. They also asked for social security number and birthday when I didn’t give them a card number. When I asked for the reason they wanted to talk to me, they couldn’t give me a clear answer, and seemed flustered. They transferred me to other people, each wanting my social security number. When I questioned why they needed it, they said they actually didn’t need it. I hung up. I then called the customer service number on the Capital One website, and they said they had no record of anyone trying to contact me.

Contacted company in reference to a loan that I was approved for. In order to receive the loan I would of had to accept a deposit from them and return it to them buy purchasing gift cards. Which I mistakenly did and as a result they want me to do this process again this time using money gram. I then contacted Capitol one directly and they informed.me that this was a scam.

I had four identical charges on two consecutive days on my credit card statement. I did not recognize any of the scant information given, so I called customer service for clarification. The person I talked with said I see a phone number associated with these entries, I will call it for you. So she did. Another “customer service representative” came on line. The lady did not speak English very well. She said I will check into this and call you back. No calls back. But I started getting 8, 10, 12 emails a day asking me to rate a service that I am not aware of ever receiving. The only way they could have gotten my email address is from the Capital One representative. I have been trying since January to get this straightened out and my account closed. I have had at least four phone calls, and I have written two letters and sent copies of all correspondence about this account. I received four identical letters today demanding additional information, or the disputed amount would be reapplied to my account. When I called, I got another lady who did not speak English very well either. I was put on hold several times while she checked with her supervisor. Finally after about twenty minutes on hold, I was told that my account has already been closed, just ignore those letters. So how do I get rid of the number emails, other than sending them straight to trash?

I received a call from Carol from "Capital One" saying that I am eligible to lower my interest rate. I gave her my name and last four numbers of my social security number. I started wondering if the call was legit, so I called Capital One and they told me there were no offers going on at this time. I called the number for Carol and she began giving me the same spiel. I interrupted her and she asked why I was calling and I told her that I believed that it was a scam. She hung up on me. The real Capital One gave me the number at Experian to put a credit alert on my social security number.

"ACH trans Capital One ccp for 38.00. No other description. No ending numbers to trace to bank. Consumer caught it and took to bank. They said it was not Capital One. Bogus payment. Her bank stopped payment.

The woman, who was exceptionally rude, kept insisting I had to come into their offices to sign "important paper" for my business account with them. I do not have a business account with anyone, nor do I have an account with capitol one. If you call back the number they are calling from, you will be connected to the person's desk. She answers as "Capital One." Again, it IS NOT Capital One. Be warned!

I was called regarding a capital one credit card and the person on the other end of the phone needed me to say yes. I accidentally did and I am hoping this number is tracked down so that I don't lose any money.

This sounds like the recent scam from Wells Fargo opening credit accounts for people that had not requested them. I received a statement for two Visa credit card accounts, one in my name and one in my wife's name. We had close these over four years ago when we closed our Capital One bank account. I called the customer service number on the Capital One website, which was different from the one on the statement, and was told the phone number and address were valid. I told them we did not want these credit card accounts and asked they be closed. I was instructed to contact the ScamPulse.com if I had not requested these accounts.

The person calling identifies herself as Linda from Capital One, they only request to speak to me if not the hung up. I called the number 1 800 555 6600 it takes you through choices and they offer a packages to the Bahamas and tickets for free, I hanged up. I guest the y use Capital one as a catch so people call them back.
